#NewToSLTchat New to SLT? These are your top priorities:
1. Seek out every opportunity to strip out every demand on teachers except that they plan and deliver a great curriculum...
#NewToSLTchat
2. Instead of boosting your own career by dreaming up some new initiative, think about ways to genuinely make colleagues& #39; professional lives easier and more fulfilling
#NewToSLTchat
3. Work out how to be a shit umbrella rather than a shit funnel.

If you remember your job is to serve the needs of teachers in making children& #39;s education a success rather than make their lives miserable you will be making a positive difference. Best of luck!

4. You don& #39;t know nearly as much as you think you do. Leadership is not generic; school leadership requires that you know a LOT about leading a school. A useful default assumption is that experienced teachers/middle leaders know things you NEED to know.

5. Finally, don& #39;t listen to me! Follow the guidance of genuinely knowledgeable experts like @head_teach @StuartLock @Counsell_C @matthewhood @stoneman_claire @ClareSealy @Soarpoints @johntomsett and anyone these people recommend.
